    It was the first time in a dispensary where I encountered a very friendly clerk with abundant knowledge. Her name is Julissa. I had a lot of questions to figure out the strain and the dosage for my issues. She was great at picking the right one for me. It is farther away, but I will return here for my medical marijuana needs. Thank you, Julissa; you should get a raise!

    Absolutely one of the best dispensary experiences I’ve had. The team at Ivy Hall runs a tight operation while still making the atmosphere feel welcoming and genuine. You can tell management actually cares about organization, customer flow, inventory accuracy, and overall guest experience instead of just pushing people through the line. Every visit has been consistent — knowledgeable staff, solid recommendations, fast service even during rushes, and a clean, well-maintained store. The front-of-house communication and teamwork stand out more than most dispensaries I’ve been to. Staff stays professional, approachable, and patient whether you’re a regular customer or completely new to cannabis. What really separates this location is the culture. There’s a balance between professionalism and personality that makes the experience feel elevated without being pretentious. Promotions are explained clearly, product knowledge is strong, and the employees genuinely seem invested in helping customers find what works best for them. If you’re in the area and want a dispensary that’s organized, efficient, and still has good energy, Ivy Hall Waukegan sets the standard.

    I recently had the pleasure of being assisted by Joey, and it was an outstanding experience. Joey's friendly and approachable demeanor made me feel instantly at ease. He has a unique talent for making customers feel special and valued. Joey's attention to detail and personalized service were truly exceptional. He went out of his way to understand my needs and preferences, ensuring that I felt like a favorite customer. His dedication and genuine care for his customers are evident in every interaction. What impressed me the most was his ability to listen to my specific needs and find the best deals that perfectly matched what I was looking for. His recommendations were spot-on, ensuring I got the best value for my money. Joey took the time to explain everything in detail, making sure I understood each step of the purchasing process and felt confident in my decisions. If you're looking for someone who combines professionalism with a personal touch, I highly recommend Joey. His warmth and commitment to excellent service made my experience truly memorable. Thank you, Joey, for going above and beyond!

    I've been to Rise numerous times and I am very impressed. The people working at Rise are extremely knowledgeable and for a "novice" like myself it is appreciated. Today I was helped by a gentleman named Samm. He was SO KNOWLEDGEABLE and directed me to the products that will help my sleeping condition. He gave me information regarding tolerance breaks (which I never heard of) as well as trying the products sublingually. I never even thought about doing this. Without his help I would have purchased the same product instead of expanding my horizons. Samm was extremely pleasant and courteous. I am definitely going back to RISE and I hope Samm is working when I am there. Rise is lucky to have an employee like Samm!

What to expect from Illinois dispensaries

Illinois is home to over 100 licensed cannabis dispensaries that serve both medical patients and recreational customers throughout the state. The progress that has been made towards cannabis legalization in Illinois has brought both excitement and confusion to cannabis consumers eager to visit and buy from local dispensaries. Whether you’re an Illinoisian, or simply visiting the Prairie State for pleasure, we’ve put together the most important information you need to know before you visit a cannabis dispensary in Illinois.

History of weed in Illinois

Illinois boasts one of the most diverse economies in the United States, so it’s not surprising to see that cannabis has been added to its list of industries. The road to cannabis legalization in Illinois started in 2013 and came to fruition Jan. 1 2014 when medical marijuana and medical dispensaries were officially legalized in the state for medical card holders thanks to The Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Program. Later in 2016, SB2228 decriminalized possession of small amounts of cannabis (10 grams or less). In 2019, laws were signed to usher in recreational cannabis legalization for all adults aged 21 years old or over which began Jan. 1, 2020.

Weed purchases must be made between 10am - 10pm

Dispensaries in Illinois are required to adhere to strict rules around when customers can place orders for weed. The golden rule in Illinois is dispensaries can only accept weed orders between 10am - 10pm. This rule applies to both in-store orders and online orders. You can use Leafly to find dispensaries open until 10pm near you.

Identification cards and medical marijuana cards are required

You won’t be able to enter a dispensary in Illinois without providing a government-issued identification card upon arrival. Types of identification cards accepted at Illinois recreational dispensaries include valid driver’s licenses and state identification cards. If you’re planning to visit a medical marijuana dispensary, you will need to present a valid medical marijuana card issued by the state of Illinois in order to enter. Medical marijuana patients visiting from out-of-state are not allowed to visit medical dispensaries in Illinois but can visit recreational dispensaries. You must be at least 21 years old to enter a dispensary in Illinois.

First-time buyer perks

If it’s your first time visiting a pot dispensary in Illinois, you get the added benefit of a free consultation with a budtender at the dispensary during your inaugural visit. The budtender can give you an introduction to the different types of cannabis available, answer any questions you have, and work with you to find a strain that meets your needs. Another perk of being a first-time buyer at an Illinois dispensary is that many shops offer special weed deals and discounts, such as a discount on your first purchase.

Finding legit dispensaries

People new to visiting a dispensary may wonder what makes a legitimate dispensary. Legit dispensaries can be summarized as dispensaries that have a license to operate. Today, there are around 110 total licensed and legitimate dispensaries in Illinois. You can verify adult-use dispensary licenses at any time through the State of Illinois, or use Leafly to quickly see the highest rated dispensaries in Illinois.

How to buy weed in Illinois: Tax Information

Illinois cannabis tax breakdown

Like most goods sold in the US, cannabis products are subject to certain taxes. Every state has unique tax rates and laws when it comes to cannabis, including Illinois, which features a complicated cannabis tax law that varies depending on THC levels.

Illinois uses THC levels in cannabis to determine how much tax dispensaries should apply on each cannabis purchase. In general, the cannabis tax in Illinois is 10%, but this number increases for cannabis products with THC concentrations above 35%—increasing the cannabis tax to 25%. Essentially, the more THC in a product, the higher the tax. Additionally, if you’re shopping at a recreational dispensary in Illinois, you will be required to pay a 6.25% retail sales tax. The only exceptions to cannabis taxes are for medical marijuana patients, who are only subject to a 1% statewide sales tax.

Cash is required. Credit cards, checks, and cryptocurrency are not accepted

Like other states that have legalized cannabis, Illinois requires all cannabis purchases be made in cash. Fortunately, most dispensaries have ATMs to allow you to take out cash for a small fee. Illinois dispensaries are cash-only because banks operate on the federal level where marijuana is still illegal, making banks unable to accept anything but cash from dispensaries. This means that dispensaries in Illinois do not accept personal checks, credit cards, debit cards, or cryptocurrency as forms of payment.

Where to consume weed in Illinois

Illinois has passed laws outlining where people can and cannot smoke weed. Essentially, Illinois consumption laws state that there are only a few key locations where you are free to smoke and enjoy cannabis, including:

  • Inside a home that you own
  • Inside a home that you rent with the landlord’s written permission
  • Consumption lounges

How to transport weed in Illinois

It’s important to note that in addition to consumption laws, Illinois has laws regarding the transportation of cannabis. In Illinois, it is legal for adults aged 21 years or older to transport cannabis within the state as long as the marijuana is stowed away properly. Any violation of this, or driving under the influence of cannabis, may result in a misdemeanor with jail time and possibly a fine over $2,000.

To safely transport cannabis legally in Illinois, your cannabis must meet the following requirements:

  • Cannabis must be sealed and kept in a child-proof container
  • Cannabis cannot be accessible to driver while the car is moving
  • Cannabis must only be transported by an adult age 21 years old or older

Types of cannabis products available in Illinois

Both medical and recreational dispensaries in Illinois offer a selection of cannabis products ranging in price, quality, potency, as well as unique cannabinoid combinations (Ex. high THC, low CBD). Cannabis products widely available in Illinois dispensaries include cannabis flower, THC concentrates, THC edibles, cartridges, and pre-rolls. But before you start shopping, It’s important to know that Illinois has strict purchasing limits on certain types of cannabis products.
